2017 Screenwriting Competition winner Getaway was produced in the summer of 2024.

Jason Biggs (American Pie, Orange is the New Black) makes his directorial debut with the crime/comedy. Stars Anna Conkle (Pen15), Arturo Castro (Broad City), Meaghan Rath (Hawaii Five-o), and Justin H. Lin (The Umbrella Academy). Motion Picture Corporation of America (MPCA) producing.

Written by Jamie Napoli and Joshua Paul Johnson, the script was a huge favorite of Pipeline execs, who called it “Coen Bros-esque” and “one of our best winners all-time, in any genre.”

Years later, Script Pipeline execs helped Jamie and Josh develop the horror screenplay Paradise. After circulation by Pipeline in 2023, they ended up landing with the management team at Bellevue.

“Script Pipeline has done more for our careers than anyone else in the industry,” said Josh and Jamie.

“They’ve been incredible partners for the long haul—championing, not just our winning screenplay, but our subsequent projects as well. They’ve dramatically improved our work with their notes and guidance and connected us with our dream management team. Having them in our corner has been a true game-changer.”

Paramounts’ Republic Pictures distributing. Release date for Getaway is TBD.
